Question

a 68-g bar of gold is cut into 3 equal pieces. how does the density of each piece compare to the density of the original gold bar?

Answer 1

the density would be the same because

\[denisty=\frac{mass}{volume}\]

Answer 2

density is not dependent on how much of something you have. Unless you change the composition, the density will remain the same.

Answer 3

The density is the same because both the volume and the weight (mass) are decreased by the same amount (1/3), and it's a proportional relationship.
